US experts NTB has spoken to are unanimous in their judgment after the TV debate between the Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and the Republican candidate Donald Trump.
– It is the first time I have seen Donald Trump regularly lose in a TV debate, says Professor Hilmar Mjelde at the University of Western Norway.
– I think this is the best performance I can remember from a democratic presidential candidate, and I remember just about everyone from this millennium, says USA connoisseur and series creator Gjermund Stenberg Eriksen.
– It was a very good evening for Kamala Harris and a less good evening for Donald Trump, observes Civita advisor Erik Løkke.

– Harris won the debate against Donald Trump, but it is not certain that such debates have much to say for the election outcome, says associate professor Hilde Restad at Oslo Nye Høyskole.
– Hillary Clinton also clearly won her debate against Donald Trump in 2016, and she was not elected, points out Are Tågvold Fladen, who is an editor at AmerikanskPolitikk.no.
Trump struggled to present his arguments and repeatedly allowed himself to be stirred up by Harris during the debate, the experts note.
Stir up Trump
– It was not surprising that Trump struggled to be disciplined, this was a clear strategy for Harris, says Løkke.
– Trump got on the defensive, got frustrated and was not quick-tempered enough to attack her as a left-wing radical candidate, says Mjelde.
– It is his argument that actually resonates with many voters, but he was unable to present it properly last night, he states.
Misused the opportunity
Trump abused the opportunity to get more votes from women and central voters, believes Stenberg Eriksen. To what extent Harris succeeded in convincing the doubters, he is unsure.
– It is so even and so few voters to move on. But she mobilizes her own. And she probably moves some who now see that this is a mature and qualified politician who takes security policy seriously, he says.
– For approximately 46 percent of the voters, it will not matter that Trump spent most of his time presenting incoherent conspiracy theories, nor that he appeared angry and petty, says Restad.
Hardly lost voters
Løkke also does not believe that Trump lost voters as a result of the debate.
– No, I don’t think so. But that is not the important question either. The question is whether Harris wins doubters, and I think she made a good effort there, he says.
– TV debates are about the overall impression and whether the viewers think you look like a national leader. Harris was confident, mostly laid-back and approachable to most people. Exactly what she had to do, says Mjelde.
Swift support
– Americans have traditionally been concerned with candidates’ charm, persuasiveness and apparent control over the facts. It is important to remember this, since these expectations do not apply to Trump, says Restad.
Løkke is unsure what will have the greatest effect, the TV debate or pop star Taylor Swift’s call after the debate to vote for Kamala Harris.
– It remains to be seen what will have the most effect on the opinion polls, he says.

Kamala Harris Dominates Donald Trump in Presidential Debate, US Experts Agree
In a recent presidential debate between Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican candidate Donald Trump, US experts have unanimous agreement that Harris outperformed Trump. According to Professor Hilmar Mjelde at the University of Western Norway, “It is the first time I have seen Donald Trump regularly lose in a TV debate” [[1]]. USA connoisseur and series creator Gjermund Stenberg Eriksen also praised Harris’s performance, saying “I think this is the best performance I can remember from a democratic presidential candidate” [[1]].
The debate highlighted Trump’s struggles to present his arguments and his inability to resist Harris’s personal digs, which left him on the defensive and frustrated. Civita advisor Erik Løkke observed, “It was a very good evening for Kamala Harris and a less good evening for Donald Trump” [[1]]. Even Trump’s supporters acknowledged that he was off his game, with BBC News noting that Trump “couldn’t resist Harris’s personal digs at the debate which threw him off message” [[2]].
Harris’s strategy of stirring up Trump was a deliberate move, according to Løkke, which allowed her to take control of the debate and present her arguments effectively. Trump, on the other hand, failed to capitalize on the opportunity to win over women and central voters, says Stenberg Eriksen.
The debate may not have a significant impact on the election outcome, as associate professor Hilde Restad at Oslo Nye Høyskole notes, citing the example of Hillary Clinton’s debate win against Trump in 2016, which did not translate to a presidential win [[1]]. However, the experts agree that Harris made a good effort in winning over doubters and presenting herself as a confident and qualified leader.
In terms of fact-checking, ABC News live fact-checked the debate and found that both candidates made false or exaggerated claims [[3]]. However, the experts’ consensus is that Harris was the clear winner of the debate, with Trump struggling to present his arguments and losing his composure under Harris’s attacks.
the debate was a significant victory for Kamala Harris, with US experts unanimous in their judgment that she outperformed Donald Trump. While the debate’s impact on the election outcome remains to be seen, Harris’s performance has undoubtedly boosted her credibility as a presidential candidate.
